FEP 3 SDK

Description

This package contains some examples and the documentation of the FEP 3 SDK.

FEP 3 SDK Documentation

• see fep3_sdk/doc/fep3-sdk.html

How to use

The FEP 3 SDK provides a CMake >= 3.17 configuration. See the fep3_system and fep3_participant documentation on how to use the different libraries in your own CMake projects.

Build order and dependencies

To build the packages bottom-up, the following order is needed. Instructions on how to build each library, can be found in the corresponding library repository.

• dev_essential
• fep3_participant (dev_essential)
• fep3_system (dev_essential, fep3_participant)
• fep3_sdk (dev_essential, fep3_participant, fep3_system)
• clipp

How to build using only cmake

Prerequisites

• Download CMake at least in version 3.17.0
• Using git, clone the repository and checkout the desired branch (e.g. master) - Build the dev_essential library as described in the Readme file.
• Build the fep3_participant library as described in the Readme file.
• Build the fep3_system library as described in the Readme file.

Optional

• Doxygen version 1.8.14. Doxygen executable should be located under <doxygen_dir>/bin
• Sphinx version 3.3.0.

Build with cmake

• Run the following command, (adaptations may be needed in case a different Visual Studio version is used or different configuration should be built).

  > cmake.exe -H<root_dir> -B<build_dir> -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_dir> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<clipp_root> -Dfep3_system_DIR=<fep_system_dir> -Dfep3_participant_DIR=<fep3_participant_dir> -Ddev_essential_DIR=<dev_essential_dir>/lib/cmake/dev_essential -Dfep3_sdk_cmake_enable_documentation=False
  > cmake --build . --target install --config RelWithDebInfo

  • <root_dir> The path where the fep sdk library is checked out and the main CMakeLists.txt is located.
  • <build_dir> The build directory
  • <clipp_root> The installation path of clipp. File clipp.h is located under <clipp_root>/include.
  • <install_dir> Path where the built artifacts will be installed.
  • <dev_essential_dir> The path were the dev_essential library was installed. File dev_essential-config.cmake is located under <dev_essential_dir>\lib\cmake\dev_essential.
  • <fep3_participant_dir> The path were the fep3_participant library was installed. File fep3_participant-config.cmake is located in this folder.
  • <fep_system_dir> The path were the fep3_system library was installed. File fep3_system-config.cmake is located in this folder.

  Note: The above cmake calls are exemplary for using Windows and Visual Studio as generator. For gcc the addition of -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=True is needed. Also depending on the generator used, the --config in the build step could be ignored and the adaptation of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES or CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE could be necessary for building in other configurations.

Additional Cmake options

• Enable the documentation
  • The fep3_sdk_cmake_enable_documentation variable activates the build of the documentation. Default value is True. For this flag doxygen and sphinx are required. The doxygen executable should be located in ${DOXYGEN_ROOT}/bin/doxygen.exe and the cmake variable DOXYGEN_ROOT should be set accordingly.
  • A call to cmake with documentation activated could look like:

    > cmake.exe -H<root_dir> -B<build_dir> -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v141 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_dir> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<clipp_root> -Dfep3_system_DIR=<fep_system_dir> -Dfep3_participant_DIR=<fep3_participant_dir> -Ddev_essential_DIR=<dev_essential_dir>/lib/cmake/dev_essential -Dfep3_sdk_cmake_enable_documentation=True -DDOXYGEN_ROOT=<doxyxen_dir>
    > cmake --build . --target install --config RelWithDebInfo
